	Comment and question, both prompted by a request for
educational software listings:

	Comment:  the general quality of "educational" software in
the liberal arts, particularly once one gets past the primary/secondary 
level, is exceptionally poor (may well be poor at the lower levels; I 
have no expertise there).  

	Questions:  does anyone know of advanced (i.e., college-level)
educational software that works well in the areas of (1) general
humanities, (2) writing (expository, creative, whatever), (3)
literature.  I would be extremely interested in anything that shows
any promise at all in these areas (the wastelands of educational
software in my experience).
